The Billabong Women’s Salty Dayz Natural 2mm Long Sleeve Springsuit is a high-performance, eco-conscious wetsuit designed for warmth and flexibility in temperate water. Part of the Salty Dayz collection, it replaces traditional petroleum-based neoprene with Natural Rubber, making it a premium choice for environmentally-minded surfers.
Key Technical Features
-
Yulex® Pure Stretch Natural Rubber: A sustainable alternative to neoprene. This 2mm rubber is sourced from FSC-certified forests, providing excellent thermal insulation and superior flexibility while significantly reducing the suit's carbon footprint.
-
Recycler Graphene Lining: The interior features Graphene-infused yarns on the front and back panels. This Nobel Prize-winning material is legendary for its ability to heat up faster and retain warmth longer than traditional thermal linings.
-
Ciclo® Technology: The suit's internal and external fabrics (the "Airlite" jersey) are treated with Ciclo® technology, which allows the synthetic fibres to break down more like natural fibres if they ever end up in a landfill.
-
Front Zip Entry: Equipped with a durable vertical front-zip system, allowing for easy entry and exit while providing a secure, water-tight closure that won't interfere with your paddling.
-
B-Lock External Seams: Constructed with B-Lock (Flatlock) stitching, which provides high durability and flexibility while allowing the suit to breathe, preventing overheating in milder water temperatures.
